So, the very worst feeling emotion has to be that suffocating feeling when you feel lack of control.

And the emotion you often describe when you are offering that vibration - we hear you use words like grief, or words like betrayal, or words like depression (the words don’t matter so much, there’s only two emotions, one feels good and one feels bad, and then there’s that infinite range inbetween - you have lots of different names for the way you feel along this continuum), but, let us say, for sake of this example, that that deep depression, that feeling of grief, that feeling of not being able to do something about it, that powerless, lost feeling - let us describe that as the most disconnected vibration that you can achieve.

So, there you are in your depression.

Now, the thing that we want you to hear is:

You might come to an Abraham gathering, or you might talk to someone who has been to one and, in your depression, as they are observing you, they might say to you:

“Hey, you gotta think some happy thoughts! You need to cheer up! You need to stop being so negative!”

In which case, you might want to say to them:

“You need to drop dead!”

Because you don’t have access to that bright happy thought or feeling, even though you have thought happy things before, even though you have had access to happy thoughts at other times, in this moment, of that vibration, that feels like it’s sucking the life right out of you, you don’t have access to that bright happy thought.

So what we want you to hear in this quest for reconnecting to who you really are, is:

“The best you can do is reach for the best you can do!”

In other words:

“The best you can do is find the best thought you can find.”

And maybe a thought of rage or anger is the best thought that you can find.

Sometimes that angry thought that you discover is a big improvement over the suffocating grief that you were feeling before.

You see what we’re getting at?

Now, somebody who does not understand the components of your grief, who really doesn’t like to see somebody who’s angry, might say to you:

“You’re anger is inappropriate.”

In which case we advise you to tell them, again, to drop dead.

Because they don’t know how far you have come, they cannot know the improvement you have found.

They don’t know how much better that anger is than that grief that you were feeling just moments before.

Now, if your intention is to reach for the best feeling-thought that you can find, and you have found the relief, don’t let somebody tell you that it isn’t. You know that it is, but now don’t give up on your quest to reach for a better feeling.

Keep reaching.
